Signing 81 million to win the championship and signing 100 million to become the cornerstone of the team! Win-win deal, the Thunder Bulls each get what they need
3:44pm, 11 September 2025【Basketball】
On September 11, looking back at the entire NBA history, the operation of a win-win deal can be said to be very few. In the past few years, Halliburton's exchange for Sabonis is a win-win deal, but it is also short-term. After all, Saints only helped the Kings reach the playoffs for one year, and the Pacers are the more profitable team, because they rely on Halliburton to reach the division finals in the past two seasons, showing the potential of the top backcourt.
In addition, there was a win-win deal last summer, which was the Bulls and Thunder. The two sides reached a 1-for-1 deal, and the Bulls gave Caruso and got Gidey. Because of this deal, the Bulls also missed the opportunity to send off Lavin's premium contract. Before the deal with the Thunder, the 76ers and the Kings had discussed contract renewal with the Bulls. They said that as long as they could get a deal with Caruso, they would be willing to take the contract of La Li. As a result, after Caruso's deal, both teams refused to talk about the deal again.
Even though the Bulls sent DeRozan away and exchanged for two second round picks, wanting to use the second round pick as a bonus to send Raven away, there is still no team interested. The reason why the Bulls gave up sending away the garbage contract and got Gidey in trade was because they took advantage of Gidey's cornerstone potential. Gidey has good ball handling ability. The main reason why the Bulls have not been able to achieve a record in the past years is that they lack an excellent organizer.
Originally, the Bulls wanted to exchange Caruso for a high pick in the first round, but they didn't know whether the high pick could be played in the end. Moreover, the 24th session was the New Year of the Draft. In this case, they found a safe way and got Gidi. After Gidedi joined the Bulls, the Bulls initially tried to trade in order to get Lavin more ball rights to play data, so they did not give Gidedi more ball rights. It was not until Lavin left the team that Gidedi got more opportunities.
After the All-Stars, Giddy averaged 21+10+9 per game, with a three-point shooting percentage of 43%, a triple-double per game, and an excellent three-point shooting. This performance is definitely a star-level level. Seeing his outstanding performance, the Bulls also wanted to renew his contract in the offseason. At first, they just gave him a four-year, 80 million contract, but Giddy refused to renew the contract, and then gave him a four-year, 88 million contract, but Giddy still refused.
In the end, Gidey received a four-year, 100 million contract extension. There are four restricted free agents in the league this summer. Among them, only Gidey received a large contract renewal. Cameron Thomas, who averaged 24 points per game, only got a one-year, 6 million contract. Now, Kumingga is likely to ask for a qualification quotation contract, and Grimes will not get Gidey's contract. The Bulls really regard Gidey as the cornerstone, while other players are just puzzles for the team, so they cannot get a big contract.
For many years in the future, I believe that the Bulls will build a team around Gidey. At the end of last season, the Bulls achieved good results in offenses around Gidey. In the last 20 games of the regular season, the Bulls won 15 games. Although they were eliminated in the playoffs, he let the Bulls see the future. The Bulls will continue to build a team around him in the new season. It is estimated that they will have a chance to compete in the playoffs. This deal gives the Bulls a future worth looking forward to.
On the other hand, Caruso was injured when he first joined, missed many games, and did not perform well after returning. In this case, he thought the Thunder would choose to consider renewing the contract during the offseason. As a result, when Caruso renewed the contract, the Thunder immediately gave him a big contract, 81 million in four years, which is the largest contract Caruso can win. The Thunder gave him the greatest sincerity. At that time, the outside world still had doubts about this contract.
But after the playoffs, Caruso showed his value. It can be said that in addition to the three cores, he contributed the most to the team's winning and winning championships. When the core is restricted, he can seize the opportunity to kill and damage, and has played 20+ in many games. The team does not have a heavy center and suffers losses in the confrontation. He will play the No. 5 position to harass the opponent's center, and also handle the ball and top-level shooting ability. He is simply the most ideal puzzle player.
Finally, with the help of Caruso, the Thunder successfully won the championship. Caruso averaged 9.2 points, 2.7 rebounds, 2.2 assists and 2 steals in the entire playoffs, with a three-point shooting percentage of 41.4%, and averaging 1.6 three-pointers. The fourth place in the league in defensive efficiency and the 12th place in the league in efficiency, all of which show his help to the team. Now Caruso has stayed with the Thunder for a long-term contract, and the Thunder has also renewed the contract with the three young masters this summer. They will be popular teams to compete for the championship for many years in the future.
Presti gave up a talent in exchange for immediate combat power, allowing them to win their first championship since they moved to Russia. The Thunder will have the opportunity to attack the dynasty in the future. And the Bulls found the future, which is a typical win-win deal. Having said that, what do you want to say about the operation of the two teams? Welcome to leave a message for discussion.
